Was curious how the community feels about this gun model.

    Well if this were ancient Rome and I were an emperor overseeing this match from the stands of the Colosseum. *Thumbs down*

    Using a gun model like this is equivalent of using aimbot and he should be hung by the neck until dead.

    Why care?

    so now he has an advantage because his gun no longer obstructs vision?

    Cheating in my book

    why does this guy feel like he needs to use that to gain an advantage? does he even lift?

    Doesn't look like big of an advantage.
    But a Steam Workshop whitelisting mechanism would be really needed for other stuff.

    That's nothing.

    I use skins that turn my gun, the walls, and the aliens transparent.

    Working is over-rated. Only by dedicating majority of work time to studying theoretical NS2 materials and watching comp players matches and tutorial, once can prepare himself for the evening/night NS2 marathon adequately.

    After extensively analysing the situation with my brain trust, I'd say he's going to die a horrible death, transparent gun skin or not.

    That's a pretty awesome skin and I'm not against it at all. TF2 lets you turn off weapon models completely and create binds for toggling them. This wouldn't work so well in NS2 since ammo counters are on the weapons themselves. The option to disable weapon models would be nice either way, and it would work perfectly fine on aliens. An alternative in TF2 is to increase the weapon viewmodel fov, resulting in weapons elongating, yet looking considerably less bulky.

    First reaction: Nah, it doesn't look very cool, but whatever floats your boat...

    Second reaction: Waaaaaaait, do you mean as in what-do-I-think-in-terms-of-unfair-advantage?

    To which I would say:

    Wouldn't even be worth discussing if devs would just include an option to turn weapon models off, like TF2.

    is the texture checked by consistency-checking?
    there is much more "creepy" stuff floating around in the workshop : /

    Some of you boys need to get down to earth. Literally. You know, shoveling dirt with equipment. None of that slacking off business there, except on Union-mandated breaks. And Union-mandated safety meetings. Also Union-mandated dirt training. But still.

    My perspective might be biased due to the fact I love this skin, however I don't feel it offers any noticeable advantage- Unfortunately there's not enough data on ns2stats to draw any conclusive evidence on whether or not it does.

    That post was a (sarcastic) dig at all the people who incessantly quote NS2Stats are the be-all-end-all regarding how balanced the game is at.
    I'm surprised you guys didn't see it.

    sorry I think I've just lost all faith in the average intelligence of this community so I have no idea what to expect

    especially when you consider the original thread is about a holographic weapon model posing a significant advantage when it's a console command in every other shooter

    unless the OP is also sarcastic in which case this is way too deep for me; I'm going to see myself out

    I'm insulted by the insinuation that this forum is full of low-intelligence mouth-breathers.

    Also:
    In regards to the OP:
    Does the gun have a shimmering effect, or is it just transparent with a blue outline?
